Recenzii

This book really is "essential" to understanding Christianity in its fullest context. The essays are multi-disciplinary and wide in scope, taking into consideration Christianity's beliefs, sacramental worship, denominational histories, and future. What's most impressive is that the book does this with a global perspective in mind, recognizing that Christianity has always been a universal religion.
The Essential Guide to Christianity will stretch and expand every reader's perceptions of the religion founded by Jesus. The volume manages to highlight Christianity's common beliefs and practices while simultaneously underscoring its vast diversity. Taken together, its essays provide a rich and robust introduction to the world's largest religion.
At a time when religious literacy is low, it is good to have a short volume that explains the essentials of the Christian faith in its three major traditions.
